Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast

Spent two nights here. Wouldn’t do it again if we had it to do over. House itself is lovely and there is history here. But it’s almost as if the owner is trying to make it based on the history rather than what is offered for the guests in the way of service and amenities. As I said, the house is beautiful. However, the grounds aren’t anything to write home about. The whole backyard is fenced off and hidden behind tarps because it is a disaster. It needs a lot of attention and TLC. The rooms are small as they are in a lot of older homes. And we were surprised to find that the doors to the bedrooms did not have locks on them. First and only time we’ve experienced that. They would have been large enough if there wasn’t so much furniture in them. We didn’t have room to have our two suitcases open and walk around the room but there was an old chair and a dresser with some antique porcelain-ware on it taking up space. The chair was very uncomfortable (We could feel every spring in it when we sat down and noticed the same same on some of the other furniture in the common areas of the house.) and the dresser, while a nice piece of furniture, took up space that could have been more efficiently used in a small room. The bathroom was very small also and the biggest issue was there wasn’t any place to put our toiletries. And finding a used washcloth on the floor when we checked in didn’t help with our impression of the care and attention given to cleaning measures taken between guests. Breakfast also left something to be desired. They set out a counter with pastries and fresh fruit, juice and coffee and a variety of cereals. Something was mentioned about being able to make eggs if we wanted them but we had the distance impression that doing so would be an inconvenience. WiFi was available but we found it to be intermittent in our room. The final straw for us was that we had reserved two rooms with king beds on the second floor. But after the reservation was confirmed, we had a call from the owner that he had messed up the reservations and double booked a room. So we would have to have one of our two rooms be a room with a queen bed on the third floor. It turned out that the room was more suited for Hobbits than normal size humans and for that nuisance and having to carry luggage up an extra flight of narrow and steep stairs, no offer of a discounted rate was made. Overall, just a major disappointment on several fronts which made this an overpriced and overrated experience.
Bardzo dobry
